Landscaping

Landscaping improvements are a top priority for The Villages! We will be posting additional information on past projects and future projects on this page. Please send any issues to our management company so they can be investigated as quickly as possible.
 
2024 Landscaping Projects - completed
The 2024 Landscaping Projects will be completed by end of September 2024..  
 
Project completed: 
  • Enhancements: removal of all ornamental and large grasses throughout the community.  Planted bushes and plants in their place throughout the community.  
  • The area is front of the pool redesigned and planted in new perennials and other grasses in the front.
  • Removed dead junipers and replace with Mountain Granite (tri-colored rock). Plants in some of these areas will not be installed until it is verified that sprinkler systems and water flow within those areas. 
  • Plantings throughout the common areas with bushes and approved water tolerant plants as required by Centennial Water. 
  • Replaced some retaining walls with new green timbers. 
  • Redesigned the front entrance islands with a mix of perennials, rocks and remove ornamental grasses. Providing perennials in the areas will not require replanting every year.  
  • Replaced some bushes and grasses around the park area with mix of perennials, rock, and bark.
If a tree was planted in the front of your home, the tree needs to be hand watered. We are asking homeowners to assist by watering the tree, so the tree does not die.  
 
2025 Landscaping Projects
Over the winter months, the board will be considering additional landscaping projects for 2025.  The board is hoping to proceed with plans for some of the islands and the removal of additional junipers in the common areas.  If may not be until 2026 to begin some landscaping plans to remove juniper bushes within the cul-de-sacs. 
Following is a rendering of improvements to streetside landscaping.
